Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Oversized and lavishly illustrated, this definitive volume of Greek mythology introduces readers to all the major and lesser gods and goddesses as well as the mortal descendants of Zeus. The thrilling tales, along with the vivid artwork, bring the gods and such heroes as Hercules, Theseus, and Jason to life. A family tree, a map of the constellations, and a chart showing both the Greek and Roman names of the major gods are also included.

Review:

"For any child fortunate enough to have this generous book...the kings and heroes of ancient legend will remain forever matter-of-fact; the pictures interpret the text literally and are full of detail and witty observation." Horn Book

Review:

"The drawings...are excellent and excitingly evocative." The New York Times

As a teacher, I was delighted to find this gem of a book! The myths are young reader comprehensive, exciting as well as informative about ancient Greek beliefs. Likewise, the illustrations are wonderful!
